These are cut-scenes from LOST, season 3 episode 5 (The Cost of Living). Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and other Nigerian actors speak in a pretty Nigerian accent here. Listening to Nigerian people talking in English I got they pronounce the U or O [&] sound (like in FUNNY [f&-nE] or OTHER [&-[th]&r]) close to the O sound like in MORE [mor]. Is that right? Anyone got any clue about how to imitate a Nigerian accent? Video responses are welcome.

It's not a movie, it's from the popular TV show, "Lost."

disregard what i said, jojo, i went back and watched the vid again, and i was WRONG. i mis-heard...i thought the art director said haiti, but he didn't.

there's a vid on youtube where they're interviewing adewale and, i think the director, and they say the "nigerian" scenes are shot in haiti. they even said the exterior of the church is just a facade they built in haiti, the interior is in hawaii, i believe.

zettebda - this is an episode of "lost", where they're using a flashback to give the backstory of mr. ecko, played by adelwale akinnuoye agbaje.

He uses a Nigerian accent as Adebisi in the entirety of Oz. Check out my videos of "Osuofia in London."
